Title: Examining the Relationship between Perceived Cycling Accessibility, Cycling Attitudes and Cycling Distance

However, existing research has primarily focused on objective cycling accessibility using cross-sectional data, which are unable to assess within-person effects over time. Using four waves of data from the Netherlands Mobility Panel, this paper applies Cross-Lagged Panel Models (CLPM) and Random-Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Models (RI-CLPM) to analyse the associations between perceived cycling accessibility, attitudes and distance. The results show that RI-CLPM has a better model fit than CLPM. Cycling attitudes, distance and perceived accessibility are all positively correlated with each other in both directions at the between-person level. For within-person effects, cycling attitudes and distance have positive autoregressive effects. Perceived cycling accessibility have a significant cross-lagged effect on cycling distance, as well as cycling distance on attitudes. Intrapersonal correlations are significant only between cycling attitudes and distance. These findings are valuable for optimising active travel infrastructure and promoting cycling.Read More
